David Deans responds via email to my pointing out the implicit difference between Tony Blair’s ability to handle himself in the House of Commons question period and George Bush’s tranq-ed out performance art piece euphemistically called a “press conference”:

On the lighter side of the issue — imagine this as a potential sketch for Saturday Night Live!Blair takes a “sick day,” and invites Bush to step in for him at Parliament, by answering questions regarding the rationale for the upcoming invasion of Iraq. Against the advice of Cheney and others, Bush agrees.

Brilliant!

If you know a writer at Saturday Night Live, how about passing this along to her/him?
